Filter by:Because of its high incidence, it is essential to determine the neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest. However, there is not much information to guide post-cardiac arrest care. Also, dynamic monitoring of the state of the brain can help provide information about the patient's prognosis other than previously described serum biomarkers. Therefore, the researchers will monitor postcardiac arrest patients in the intensive care unit for 48 hours by electroencephalogram and cerebral oximetry and collect blood samples for serum biomarkers: neuron-specific enolase (NSE), human neurogranin (NRGN) and human trigger receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-2), which are associated with neuronal damage. And investigate the relation of these data to mortality.
This is a phase Ib, open-label, dose-validating and safety study of caffeine in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.
Infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are at high risk for neurodevelopmental impairment, despite current standards of care. Adjunctive treatments to promote brain repair are needed. The antidiabetic drug metformin has recently been recognized as a neurorestorative agent, but, to date, has not been used in infants. Herein, the investigator describes a clinical trial with the aim of demonstrating the safety and feasibility of metformin use to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with HIE.
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), short bowel syndrome (SBS) are refractory in clinical treatment. Thus, how to better prevent such diseases is currently a key research topic in the international field. The use of cord blood-derived mononuclear cells may promote to save lives and improve patient outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of minimal enteral nutrition (MEN) on mesenteric blood flow and oxygenation with Doppler USG and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) during therapeutic hypo¬thermia (TH) in babies with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The main question it aims to answer is: 1- How do the mesenteric blood flow and oxygenation get affected with MEN during TH? Participants will be either fed with MEN during TH or given placebo.
This is an observational study in patients who require clinical anesthesia. The main purpose of this study is to understand whether there are differences in the cerebral blood flow, and oxygen metabolism affected by different types of anesthesia. Subjects who require clinical anesthesia for a clinical MRI and for whom the use of anesthetics for the exam are in clinical equipoise are asked to join the study. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study.
To compare between Transcranial Ultrasound , MRI and CT in patients with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathyas regards diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value .
The objective of the study is to compare the incidence of Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (all stages) among singleton term neonates (≥ 37 weeks) requiring resuscitation who will undergo Umbilical cord milking as compared to Immediate cord clamping.
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is the most common cause of neurological damage in the neonatal period. It has an incidence of about 1.5-2.5% of livebirths in developed countries. It is associated with a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Major neurological outcomes such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, learning disabilities, epilepsy occur in approximately 25% of survivors. The diagnostic and prognostic tools currently available for enrollment have limitations and additional reliable biomarkers are needed for all phases of clinical management. Sarnat staging has taken on a role in identifying those infants who may benefit from treatment of hypothermia, resulting in the need for neurological evaluation and staging within 6 hours of life. Therapeutic hypothermia is still the best therapeutic treatment. A new tool in neuroscience research is represented by micro-ribonucleic acid (microRNA) profiling. The presence of microRNAs in blood, urine and saliva and the ability to measure their levels non-invasively has opened new doors in the search for peripheral biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of neurodegenerative diseases and also as possible pharmacological targets. The aim of the present study is to analyze a specific cluster of miRNAs selected from data obtained by macroarray (NGS Pannel) on the entire microRNAome in healthy newborns with normal cord arterial pH value (7.26-7.35) as control cases and in newborns with fetal metabolic acidosis with a pH threshold value lower than 7.12 of the blood gas analysis from cord arterial blood. This latter group will be further stratified into two groups, neonates who will practice therapeutic hypothermia according to current guidelines and a further group who will not practice therapeutic hypothermia. This study will make a further international contribution in evaluating and identifying the potential of microRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in perinatal asphyxia and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Furthermore, the study aims to identify specific microRNA sequences as new possible markers to be used as an additional parameter for the enrollment of therapeutic hypothermia, especially in cases of mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
The purpose of this research study is to gather more information on how eye injury is related to a baby's future development and see if eye function and brain test results can be used, along with current measures, to better diagnose and treat babies with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Participants will undergo up to two eye exam sessions, involving both Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) and Electroretinogram (ERG) exams.
